A number of iconic landmarks across the West of Scotland will turn pink tonight in a show of support to back Paisley’s bid to become UK City of Culture in 2021.

The eight local authorities represented by the Glasgow City Region City Deal will take part in a series of events over the next two days.

From 10pm tonight, Glasgow's SSE Hydro, Hamilton Town House, the Titan Crane, The Foundry in Barrhead, Greenock's Beacon Arts Centre and Paisley Town Hall will light up in the shade of pink associated with Paisley 2021.
